Wireless headphones for plugging into a TV

A friend has asked me about getting some wireless headphones for her husband to use when watching TV - he's hard of hearing and tends to crank the sound so much it drives everyone else out of the room.

Her TV is a new (few months old) plasma with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Can anyone recommend some good, reasonably-priced wireless phones? Circum-aural would probably be best, to help seal out exterior noise.

TIA

No, not with my Sennheiser's, but they are connected through the amplifier.

SWMBO can listen to the TV speakers or mute them as she requires, but whatever she does, I can listen on my own, or crank up the volume in my own little world. My ears are a bit stuffed from years of snorkel and scuba diving, so sometimes I need the volume up a bit more than she does, and this way we have the best of both worlds. The older I get, the more difficulty I have in "hearing" what Americans are saying when they pretend to speak English. I find a bit more volume helps then too.
